That Tannerite scare has got to be the most contrived, nervous-nellie, hand-wringing, manufactured-from-whole-cloth non-issue since greasers and hoodlums were taking over the blackboard jungle with their switchblades and song & dance numbers, as chronicled in that shocking documentary, Westside Story, necessitating the ban of automatic knives.
I've wondered in the past how the .gov hasn't jumped all over Tannerite. I guess they just didn't know about it.
ReplyDeleteIf the CPSC can kill uh, magnets (Buckyballs) I guess this makes sense.
ReplyDelete"two pounds of the explosive with a blasting cap. As expected, the blast was twice as powerful with twice the damage."
ReplyDeleteGreat deduction and reporting there Woodstein. With media driven legislation like this we'll soon be limited to plastic spoons and nerf suits.
It offends the collectivists on the right who what a theocracy and on the left who want an all powerful party when they see people having fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but isn't this how the AWB and the Gun Control Act of '68 and the NFA got started? Some Idjit in Political Power started to whine about the "Evil Guns" and next thing you know.....
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to dismiss this as nonsense (which it is) except you have the cops, ATF, and the Indiana Senate Majority Caucus Chair involved.
ReplyDeleteJim Merritt needs a kick in the pants real quick like. The front section should do real good.

One cup of gasoline in an open 5 gallon bucket, and a bottle rocket.
A house full of natural gas from the water heater, and the spark from a light switch.
And I'm not even using my PhD in Chemistry yet.
ZOMG!!1! There's BLACK POWDER in paper roll caps!!
ReplyDeleteSome diesel and certain kinds of fertilizer...
ReplyDeleteNone of the above. The critter that is easiest to stampede is Ammunition Buyers. My town is already sold out of most pistol ammunition and all .223. Damned apes!
ReplyDeleteThat's "Damn Dirty Apes", sir!
ReplyDelete;-)
This Dirty Ape decided to hit the local Super Wally World on a whim and found the ammo shelves to be more fully-stocked than I'd ever seen in six months of looking. Plenty of .22lr and 9mm but no .380 HP or .45.
ReplyDeleteQ: What is more dangerous than a full can of gasoline?
ReplyDeleteA: A near empty can of gasoline.
The liquid is flammable, but the vapor is explosive.
Tannerite sales restricted? Make your own:

Now that the Trotskyites have a super-majority and control of both houses in California, expect similar asininity and excrementations.

Actually Ed, the vapor is what burns in all cases. You need an explosive mixture of fuel and oxygen to produce fire or an explosion. But you are dead right that a partially full can is more dangerous, as it's more likely to have a mixture neither too lean nor too rich.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, that's why Navy and Marine aircraft use JP-5 and USAF planes fly on JP-4. The former is more expensive to produce but has a much higher flash point. Air bases on land have lots of room to isolate fuel tanks, while aircraft carriers and LHD's have just a ship's length to store fuel and everything else in.
Oh, dammit, who let them see Tannerite? Gonna be yet another thing I never get a chance to have fun with.
ReplyDeleteJust glad I got my order from Bucky before Nanny-dearest shut them down.
Is a "parliament of fools" like a pod of whales or a flock of geese? Seems to fit.
ReplyDeleteOh Ancient one:
ReplyDeleteA group of monkeys or apes is called...a Congress.
How fitting.
My vision's getting worse. I had to lean closer to the screen to see that the post's title wasn't "Parliament of tools.

WTF is wrong with those people? Don't they understand that HE is the best and easiest way to get fish one can eat? That rod-and-reel thing is a mug's game.
ReplyDeleteMikee, which of those examples (except the house full of gas one, that'll be too expensive for sure) can I demonstrate without losing my eyebrows and acquiring the sooty face of a Disney lab accident?
ReplyDeleteNotClausewitz
That's right, with all the excitement over Teh Won, I forgot to look at the effects in CA apart from the fact that some idiot Initiatives were passed and no new seats went to Republicans.
"Idiot Initiatives" Somewhat oxymoronic, there.
